Product Information
Catherine Wheels - We love Catherine Wheels here! They're long laces of delicious Bassetts liquorice coiled around a Spog (pink, blue, orange or yellow). Great! But where do they come from? ... we hear you ask! Well, they're based on the historic Catherine Wheel - everyone knows them as a traditional firework, but the origins are much more gruesome than that.... Are you sitting comfortably? The original Catherine Wheel was the torture instrument on which St Catherine was martyred in the middle ages. Who would have thought that eating sweets could be so educational?!

A Quarter Of... Information
A Quarter Of is a nostalgic online sweet shop which replaces the corner sweet shop that everyone remembers growing up with. Our sweets bring back fond memories of childhood days when the sun shone for longer, when you went everywhere with a whoopee cushion in your back pocket, and when your 6p change from your weekly dose of penny chews went on a copy of Whizzer and Chips. We have around 600 old favourites - from Space Dust to Cherry Lips, Sweet Tobacco to Anglo Bubbly Bubblegum, Candy Necklaces to Blackjacks... And we're adding more all the time - if a sweet is still around, we'll find it and stock it!
